0:00.0	Have you ever looked at me a middle-aged blonde-haired blue-eyed somewhat bubbly mother of two who
0:18.7	preaches inner peace and introspection have you ever looked at me and wondered how that squares with a deep and
0:27.8	abiding love of Stephen King? Well you would not be the first to wonder that my family and friends have been
0:35.2	baffled at my devotion to the King of Horror since I read my very first Stephen King novel in the
0:41.7	fourth grade. Yes, the fourth grade. But here's what I want to tell you about
0:47.0	this master storyteller. Stephen King's works are scary but not in the way you think.
0:55.8	I know that you're picturing a killer clown and pet cemeteries and a bloody prom queen and all of those things are present in Stephen King's books
1:08.0	and in the movie adaptations of his stories but I promise you that what Stephen King is doing in his novels and short stories
1:16.8	is so much more interesting than monsters under the bed or just him simply trying to scare you. The themes in Stephen King's
1:26.6	stories are often about where our deepest fears come from and exposing that the real horrors are not always the monsters themselves.
1:36.0	He writes in complicated ways about history and mental illness and the power of children and loss and yes friendship. Now I created the Stephen King Summer
1:48.1	Club because I wanted to talk about all of these things with you. I am a Stephen King evangelist and I don't want you
1:56.0	to be scared of his writing. I don't want you to miss out on reading one of the
2:00.6	greatest storytellers in all the world throughout all of history because you're
2:06.0	too scared to pick up the book.
2:09.4	And by the way, if you want more specifics about my love for Stephen King
2:13.0	and why I think you should read him
2:14.7	and where you should start, go listen to episode 121
2:19.4	Stephen King starter kit.
2:21.4	I created that just for you. It's a deeper dive into my Stephen King
2:25.9	passion. And if you don't have time to go back and listen to that whole episode I
2:30.8	will just tell you quickly that my favorite Stephen King book of all time is it, but I do not recommend starting there.
